In Popular Culture
U2 lead singer Bono referenced his disdain for Goldman in the song "God Part II" from the album Rattle and Hum:
- "Don't believe in Goldman
- His type like a curse
- Instant Karma's gonna get him
- If I don't get him first"
The American television program Saturday Night Live had a season 14 sketch in which it was revealed that Albert Goldman, portrayed by Phil Hartman, was the fifth member of the Beatles, playing trompet, but the band, supported by Elvis Presley, decides to fire him, a task they leave to John, with Elvis backing him up, ostensibly fueling Goldmans lifelong hatred of the two.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
